The fifth-year commitments continue to roll in as more players earn eligibility through the court system.

SMU transfer BJ Edwards committed to Oklahoma. Edwards averaged 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists for the Mustangs last season. He earned his fifth season as part of the successful lawsuit in Tennessee. Edwards will likely start next to senior Xzayvier Brown, giving Porter Moser one of the better backcourt duos in the SEC.

Georgetown added to their frontcourt in the form of DePaul transfer NJ Benson. Benson averaged 11.7 points and 7.6 rebounds for the Blue Demons last season and could very well be Ed Cooley's day-one starter. Benson is relying on the Colorado injunction for his eligibility.

Auburn added backcourt depth with Utah State transfer Kolby King. King averaged 7.5 points and 3.3 rebounds for the Aggies last season and is expected to play backup minutes behind Tahaad Pettiford. King earned eligibility through the successful lawsuit in Ohio.

John Groce landed a familiar face, with Akron transfer Tavari Johnson committing to Charleston. Johnson averaged 19.7 points and five assists last season for the Zips and immediately becomes a contender for CAA Player of the Year. Like Kolby King, Johnson's eligibility comes from the successful Ohio lawsuit.

Several more players are expected to commit to schools in the coming weeks. While there is no official deadline to commit, players must be enrolled in classes for the fall semester to be eligible.
